I’m a sucker for peanut butter and jam, so created this chia pudding to satisfy my inner kid. I LOVE the layers and how satisfying this one is… AND it’s packed with plant-based protein and omega-3 fats! Of course, you can make it all in advance and have it for the week ahead which is…
Black Bean Mushroom Burger
We waited for a LONG time for weather like this… and it finally feels like summer has arrived! I was so excited to partner with Sandhill Wines again to show off their world-class wines with a couple of wine pairings with some simple fresh recipes, like this Black Bean Mushroom Burger that pairs PERFECTLY with…
Baked Mushroom Herb Polenta
There are few things more challenging than getting a healthy dinner on the table after a busy day! I swear that it’s one of the hardest parts of being an adult (let’s not get started on taxes and laundry). I sure have a bigger appreciation for my mom these days! Polenta is one of those…

Quick & Easy Plant-Based Lunch Ideas
As a busy mom trying to juggle so many different priorities, it’s never been more important to keep myself healthy… and never so difficult! For some reason lunches are the most challenging for me, the days seem to just disappear before I know it. I’m sure I’m not the only one!
Wild Mushroom Ragu with Creamy Parmesan Polenta
Growing up in a Ukrainian family, I had no choice but to love mushrooms. My grandma is so passionate about mushrooms, I swear I would be kicked out of the clan if I didn’t like them! Of course, my granny also used to cook them with a heap of butter and a pint of whipping cream,…
